HC Deb 29 May 1952 vol 501 cc185-6W
97. Major Anstruther-Gray

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has yet decided to strike a new design of 5s. crown pieces for Coronation year; and whether he will authorise the production of a large number of these coins in view of their popularity as souvenirs.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

The decision whether or not to strike a commemorative coin comes within the Royal Prerogative. I have, at present, no information to give the House.
